“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’
Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

"After enough years newspapermen begin to pall on other newspapermen; they begin to take their good qualities for granted and wince at their shortcomings, of which the most common are a vanity that sometimes borders on the thespian and a sort of perpetual mental adolescence that I think stems from starting a fresh story every day or every week or month and never having time to get to the bottom of anything. They forget that newspapermen as a class have a yearning for truth as involuntary as a hophead’s addiction to junk. The question of whether the junkie really loves hop is academic; he can’t get along without it. A newspaperman may write a lie to hold his job, but he won’t believe it, and the necessity outrages him so that he craves truth all the more thereafter. A few newspapermen lie to get on in the world, but it outrages them, too, and I have never known a dishonest journalist who wasn’t patently an unhappy bastard."

Some go without any money,
Some go without any clothes;
Some go like ants stuck in honey,
Some go where nobody goes.

“Ale, especially that made from barley, clogs the sinews, causes headache and congestion of the head, yet it overstimulates the action of the kidneys, and, when drunk to excess, lowers the temperature. That, however, which is brewed from wheat, and is flavoured with mint and parsley, is judged better for everybody. Still, in the case of persons exposed to the sun’s heat, in feverish conditions and sultry weather, its use is inadvisable.”

What did you do? You voted them in.
The Godfather had the arrogance to call local ABC radio this morning and say his/their appointment of The Ranga was a good thing.
60% on the ABC radio poll are going for Rudd and youd reckon theyd be lefties.
"There are no good outcomes for Labor and this won’t be resolved on Monday. It will simply shift to a new phase. The mess created by Bill Shorten, Mark Arbib, Don Farrell, David Feeney and Karl Bitar in June 2010 is so catastrophic it will take some time yet to clean up."

If Kevvie has opened fire on the shoppies, that doesn't really explain how the vile Nick Champion, who is SDA through and through, resigned as ALP sec and had a very public spew about how mean everyone was being to President Rudd.
Good point. So who are The Faceless Men if they're not The Godfather and his lot?
stuffed if I can figure it out.
it could be that:
a). the faceless men are actually "childless, atheist, ex-communist" women
or
b). the hatred of President Rudd is cross-factional and genuine.
or
c). both of the above.
... and Habib quits, leaving the Canberra hacks dumbstruck because they didn't see it coming. Surely he's done his job. They even sent their President over to tell us they were gonna put a huge military base on OUR COUNTRY, at Darwin. So if they can ever withdraw from the wreck they've made of the Middle East and finally go to war with China, we're in ... bewdy, Mark!
